Jaguar's Jungle Biological Reserve

In the Jaguar’s Jungle Biological Reserve, we capture ocelots, pumas, and jaguars on our camera traps every month!

Jaguar Jungle has a biological station that contributes to the national animal monitoring system. Camera “traps” are used to monitor the population density of all of the reserve’s species. Jaguars, pumas, ocelots, margay, jaguarondis and other wildcats are observed for behavioral studies.

“This is a heavenly paradise on earth. We stayed in here June 2017 for 5 nights. The boat ride from Siepre is worth the ticket. We saw crocodiles on the river boat. Arriving at Jaguar’s Jungle we were greeted by the owner and many volunteers who helped us get our bags off the boat. ”
